ARSENAL are aiming to make it six wins on the bounce as they host Liverpool in the Premier League TONIGHT.
The Gunners eased past Leicester with a 2-0 win at the Emirates and know a similar standard of performance will be required to match Jurgen Klopp’s title chasers.
Liverpool meanwhile kept up the heat on Man City as they ran out 2-0 winners at Brighton.
The Reds can move to within one point of City with a win tonight, but Jurgen Klopp has played down his side’s title hopes.
He said: “With all due respect to all the opponents we also have Manchester United, Tottenham, we have to play Villa away, Wolves in the last match, all these kind of things.
“It is nice that we are having these discussions because it means that we are close enough to kind of have a chance.
“It is better than being 20 points behind. But all we can do is try with all that we have to win the next football match.
“The most important one and the most difficult one is now. Away at Arsenal.”
The Gunners will more than likely go with the same side who swept the Foxes aside on Sunday.
But Takehiro Tomiyasu still remains a doubt who has missed a lot of action within the last three months due to ongoing calf problems.
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Liverpool have Covid cases in their camp ahead of this game, which will bring up memories for Arsenal fans of the controversial postponement of their League Cup first leg in January.
Klopp said: “On top of [injuries], Covid is not over, so these things, we’ve had.
“We try everything to avoid but it’s not always possible. Players and staff have no symptoms but cannot be involved.”
Also, Mo Salah could MISS the mouth-watering clash at the Emirates due to muscular problems but Ibrahima Konate, Alex Oxlade-Chmaberlain, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino are all set to feature.
Arsenal 27/10
Draw 29/10
Liverpool 10/11
